Zuo Rou was a little uneasy about the Miss Liang she met today. At first, she didn't realize anything was wrong, and the two of them got along well. However, later, Miss Liang inquired about Mr. Zuo Rou's situation several times, which made Zuo Rou a little wary. But women's curiosity is always like this, and Zuo Rou couldn't be sure that there was definitely something wrong with her.
Although Zuo Rou had not received any special agent training, she was still very vigilant due to her exposure to such things. At this moment, she was still not at ease and wanted to investigate the background of this Miss Liang.
The female companion stayed by her side the whole time. People who perform special tasks are always vigilant. When Zuo Rou asked, she replied uncertainly, "I can't tell anything at the moment, but this Miss Liang is very good at talking. She is not an ordinary person."
At this moment, one of the team members who had been following Zuo Rou stepped forward and whispered, "Team leader, I feel like I've seen this young lady before, but I just can't quite put my finger on it!"
"Have you met Miss Liang?" Zuo Rou asked curiously.
The team member frowned as he recalled, "A few months ago, I saw two photos. They were photos that our intelligence department requested we take to track down Japanese spies in the concession. One was a man and the other a woman. The female spy looked a lot like this Miss Liang."
"Why didn't you say so sooner!" Zuo Rou's expression changed immediately.
"It's been a while, and I'm not entirely sure. Besides, this Miss Liang looks much prettier in this photo, so I can't be sure!"
Just a few months ago, Ning Zhiheng painted two portraits: one of Iwai Nosuke and the other of Kitaoka Ryoko, the then head of the Special Higher Police's intelligence group.
At the time, many of these two photos were developed and distributed to the intelligence team members, who were asked to look for them. However, because Zuo Rou was mainly responsible for internal affairs and did not have any fieldwork, she did not see these two photos at the time.
Finally, Ronghao located Iwai nosuke based on the photo, thus eliminating a hidden group.
However, because Kitaoka Ryoko rarely entered the foreign concessions, and whenever she did, she disguised herself as a young man, she always got away with it without incident.
However, this time Kitaoka Ryoko reverted to her female attire. Although there were some differences from her photos, it still aroused the suspicion of the action team member, so he reminded Zuo Rou.
As soon as the team member spoke, Zuo Rou quickly ordered, "Follow her and see who she is. I'll send someone to pick you up right away. Be careful not to startle her!"
The two team members immediately nodded in agreement, got into another car, and followed at a distance.
At this moment, Kitaoka Ryoko, who had already gotten into the car, instructed Nakajima Kota beside her: "Today's harvest is not much. This woman is still very vigilant, and I dare not test her too much. However, her disguise is definitely not from an ordinary family. The jade bracelet on her hand is definitely top-quality, and the perfume she uses is also from a top French brand. Tsk tsk, one bottle of perfume costs at least a year's salary of mine."
At this point, Kitaoka Ryoko had no doubt about Zuo Rou's identity. This woman must be Fujiwara Tomohito's money bag, controlling the huge sums of money involved in the Fujiwara Company's smuggling.
Kota Nakajima asked, "What should we do next?"
"Go and search the vicinity first. See if there are any wealthy families with the surname Tan near Gordon Road. If not, expand the search area using Gordon Road as the center point and continue searching. Then report back to me immediately."
“Yes!” Kota Nakajima replied.
Kota Nakajima first dropped Ryoko Kitaoka off at the Suzhou Bridge and watched her enter the city before turning around and driving back to his residence.
Unbeknownst to them, a car had been following them at a distance all the way to their residence.
Zuo Rou's car returned to a small private warehouse, rounded a corner, pushed open a disguised wall, and then the vehicle entered another passage and returned to the Tan Mansion.
In fact, the Tan Mansion was not on Gordon Road in the International Settlement, but on Yu'an Road nearby. This was just a disguised passage, a routine security measure, which is why Nakajima Kota was unable to track Zuo Rou's whereabouts on both occasions.
As soon as Zuo Rou returned to the Tan Mansion, she immediately informed Huo Yueze of the day's events and asked him to come to the Tan Mansion to meet her urgently.
Upon hearing Zuo Rou's account, Huo Yueze dared not delay. He quickly retrieved the portraits of Iwai no Naka de and Kitaoka Ryoko that Ning Zhiheng had sent back from his safe and rushed to the Tan Mansion.
As soon as Huo Yueze met Zuo Rou, he handed her a portrait of Kitaoka Ryoko. Zuo Rou grabbed it and carefully examined the woman in the photo.
Zuo Rou is an expert in disguise. Like Ning Zhiheng, she has a very accurate ability to identify facial features. Ning Zhiheng's painting skills focus more on the facial features and the distance between the eyebrows and eyes, and his depiction of the face is very lifelike. This is very helpful for Zuo Rou's judgment.
Soon, Zuo Rou came to a conclusion: this Miss Liang was none other than the Japanese spy Kitaoka Ryoko in the photo!
